From the Ethnographic Museum

This display showed folk paintings representing the Trinity. How to show God the Father? Well, He's often painted as a kind of Zeus or Abraham, white hair, long beard, etc...

But there were several showing Him in this form, the all-seeing eye, here with hands dispensing largesse.

Look on the back of a dollar-bill!
